A Reddit user asked, “Who is a celebrity you used to admire, but no longer do, and why?” Here are some responses . . .
1. Jared Leto . . . “Over time I started to realize how pretentious he is. He has some Bono complex and sees himself as some profound artist who is changing the world.”
2. James Corden . . . “I saw story after story from fan encounters where he is a complete and utter [jerk]. Now that I know he’s a fake, his shtick is unwatchable.”
3. Gwyneth Paltrow . . . “The [B.S.] pseudo health information she spreads is terribly incorrect. It’s sad how many people are actually influenced by it as well.”
4. Ellen DeGeneres . . . “I started getting really soul-leeching sort of vibes from her, and now it just feels like she’s using people.”
5. Jeffree Star . . . “I found out about all the stuff he’s allegedly done, which, combined with how he doesn’t take ANY accountability and shifts the blame around, ruined him for me.”
6. Lea Michele . . . “I used to think all the diva stuff was just nasty rumors, but turns out it’s not.”
7. Elon Musk . . . “I learned that he exploits the [eff] out of his workers.”
8. Mark Salling from “Glee”. . . “He pleaded guilty to child pornography charges, and I could never support or look at him the same way again.” (Salling took his own life in 2018, before he could be sentenced.)
9. Dr. Phil . . . “I learned how some people are abused at the Turn-About Ranch treatment facility he sends them to.”
10. Joss Whedon . . . “I love his work, but he’s an abusive jerk to the women he works with.”
